JES-CO is a community-wide effort reclaiming education as a path towards liberation for justice-engaged youth

Last year, nearly 6,500 Colorado youth were newly justice engaged with less than a 20% chance of earning a diploma.* Through the JES-CO community impact effort, we believe if we partner together with those most proximate to this challenge, we can remove barriers and dramatically increase educational attainment.

It takes a community to improve justice-engaged student outcomes. Join in the work of JES-CO and become a partner in uplifting our youth, helping them work through challenges and step into their future with confidence.
